Section 13, Petaling Jaya: a private-lift residence review

About this development

This is a leasehold serviced-apartment development in Section 13, Petaling Jaya — 38 storeys, 231 residential units and 14 retail units, on a 2.172-acre site facing Jalan Kemajuan and Jalan 13/1. The developer is an established property group listed on the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia, with regional backing across integrated, mixed-use estates.

The core idea here is low density at high-rise scale — just 231 homes across 38 storeys, positioned by the developer as a "Semi-D in the sky." Almost every unit has its own private lift lobby (1.8m–2m wide, sized for a show cabinet, pedestal and seating), shares only one party wall with a neighbouring unit, and is built with living and dining rooms sized to resemble a landed frontage — 24ft for Type A, 22ft for Type B, 20ft for Type C — rather than a typical condo layout.

Bathroom design is differentiated by type rather than one generic spec: Type A comes with an added bathtub and his-and-hers basins, Type B has a separated WC and shower area, and Type C has a widened bathroom ledge (1.5m). Several types also build in age-friendly details — a 2m-wide ramped bathroom, doorways clear enough for wheelchair access (850mm), and bedrooms sized to fit a king-sized bed — aimed at multi-generational households. The lanai/balcony space that comes with several types is flexible enough to be fitted out as a mini home gym, a piano corner, or a massage/reading nook.
